Shohei Ohtani Suffers First Loss in 1-0 Defeat to Marlins

Shohei Ohtani delivered a dominant performance Tuesday, pitching six solid innings against the Miami Marlins, but suffered his first loss of the 2026 season in a 1-0 defeat as the Dodgers' offense provided minimal support. To preserve his health for a full pitching workload, the Dodgers are occasionally giving Ohtani off days at the plate when he starts on the mound. He remains a focal point for the team as they continue their season.
